Our story

Thank you Hinge!

Kayla had just gotten home from a family vacation in the fall of 2023 and opened her hinge app to see a like from a very cute boy. She liked him back and instantly messaged him. He asked her on a date and a week later, they went on their first date at Spyglass Brewery. They quickly fell in love, making it official a few weeks later. Brendan started coming for Sunday dinners at the Kohanski’s and taking trips up to their condo in the White Mountains. Kayla met Brendan’s parents when they were up for the holidays and flew down with Brendan in the spring to meet the rest of the family. Many long weekends and brewery dates later, here we are. May 2025, Kayla and Brendan moved in together in an apartment in Derry, NH. Each one of their best friends texted them asking how living together was going and they responded with, “Well, we haven’t killed each other yet so I’d say we’re doing great!” September of 2025, Kayla and Brendan planned for a long weekend together in Portsmouth, NH. Kayla was suspicious of a proposal that weekend so packed for the occasion. Multiple suitcases were brought. They went for a walk at sunset on Marginal Way in Ogunquit, ME where he popped the question and Kayla cried many happy tears with an obvious answer of yes! They had dinner reservations at a place in Perkins Cove. Little did Kayla know her parents, sister, and his parents were waiting there for their arrival! Celebratory champagne was had and the planning began!
